Israel's far-right minister Smotrich calls to occupy Gaza, take over south Lebanon ( www.haaretz.com )

Israel's Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said on Sunday that the Israeli army should create a security zone in southern Lebanon should Hezbollah not heed an Israeli ultimatum to withdraw from the border area. He also called on the security cabinet to order a permanent military presence "in all of the Gaza Strip."...

Despite Sundar's leadership, do you think that extending update support to 7 years took no innovation? The Android team has been doing major system reworks to make this practical. The Tensor team has been working to do the same on the hardware side. Samsung is likely reusing firmware and software from that work given that the hardware is shares a lot of Samsung IPs. Prior to these developments Samsung was not interested in providing anywhere close to this length of support.

Android is in the best place it's ever been since its release. It's on more things than ever and we have the kind of update support we used to only dream about in 2008. And we have devices with unlockable and rekockable bootloaders. 🤯

You're describing the standard neoliberal argument for free trade. It kinda makes sense on the surface, if you don't consider its externalities such as its impacts on labor and domestic aggregate demand. Luckily you don't have to guess what their effects are as you can see many of them in the US today. For example the rise of Trump and the desire to do away with the remains of the American democracy. Walking down that path to its end likely won't result in maximum EVs in people's hands.

Exactly. Probably many more than 7. And the fact that Amazon somehow doesn't carry any responsibility while profiting from the letter soup brands directly and indirectly is mind boggling.

Ubuntu LTS is likely the easiest to live with for a layperson. It's got the stability, support and it's got the biggest body of information for how to do things and solve problems as well as the most users using it who can help. Ubuntu LTS derivatives would inherit a lot of that but not all. The changes made to turn Ubuntu into Kubuntu for example invalidate any info for Ubuntu related to GNOME. And so on.

How much does it matter what type of harddisk i buy for my server?

Hello, I'm relatively new to self-hosting and recently started using Unraid, which I find fantastic! I'm now considering upgrading my storage capacity by purchasing either an 8TB or 10TB hard drive.

Yes three are differences but you're running a redundant array of independent disks in order not to care about those differences.

avidamoeba ,
@avidamoeba@lemmy.ca avatar

Sure but technically non-redundant schemes also fall under the category. E.g. RAID0, multiple non-redundant ZFS vdevs, etc. Those would be reducing the performance effects of single disks.

Their search can become better than DDG tomorrow just like it used to be a few years ago. All they need to do is rollback the enshitification patches. It's not a matter of R&D, it's a matter of the ad boss becoming the boss of search and optimizing it for ad revenue.

UN denies Gaza death toll of women and children has been revised down ( www.theguardian.com )

The UN has denied that the estimated death toll of women and children in the war in Gaza has been revised downward, pointing towards a confusion between the total numbers of dead bodies recorded, and the number of those who have so far been fully identified....

Aten/IO Gear work well. There's rarely any problems. If something goes wrong, a power cycle fixes it. If I'm buying again, I might go for the Level1Techs.

Slow switching is normal. In my case it takes 3-4 seconds for all the USB devices to get reconnected to the other machine.

If the keyboard or mouse doesn't work in the dedicated ports, you can use the general USB port with a hub. I had a keyboard that wouldn't work using the built-in port.

If you have particular problems with Bluetooth it might be EMI noise. Put the receiver on an extension cable.

IO Gear is also Aten and is available retail. I have the GCS1934 which I use daily. Came with nice cables and all. Unfortunately all DisplayPort KVMs are super expensive.

DVI is cheap, HDMI is reasonable, then there's DP. If you can get away with DVI or HDMI you could save some money. Personally I didn't want HDMI for the future proofing as well as the DP version I got supports multiple monitors per port allowing to bug a smaller KVM for multi monitor use. I haven't tested the multi monitor functionality yet. 😅

We knew Doug is gonna fuck it up we just weren't sure exactly how. This is so fucking sad. Him and his brother have wasted so much investment in the quality of life for people in Ontario and Toronto it's just criminal. His brother set back transit in Toronto by a decade with nothing to show for it.

This isn't about technology at all. It's about labor costs. UAW labor costs more because its workers are paid well and they don't get maimed by robots much. If in doubt, check the profit margins of the Big Three. The higher labor cost is also required because the standard of living is completely different. People in NA can't work for Chinese wages and survive. And if you want to create a race to the bottom, that's anti-worker. The shareholder class of the Big Three is still making disproportionately more than workers but this is one of the North American examples where there's much more balance between them and workers.

Honda and Toyota posed the same problem and they were forced to create factories here in order to eliminate the labor cost disparity that would have destroyed the lives of UAW members. I don't think many would have a problem with BYD building NA factories, especially if unionized by the UAW.

@Buelldozer is right, he's just being extra spicy about it.

avidamoeba ,
@avidamoeba@lemmy.ca avatar

"paid well" only has meaning in the context of standard of living, or cost of living. You provided that context. Within it they're paid relatively well. They're not getting state pensions or healthcare anytime soon so we work within the context.

avidamoeba ,
@avidamoeba@lemmy.ca avatar

Yeah I'm a bit puzzled because I think these folks are supportive of labor given they seem positive about workers in China having better safety nets. Yet letting cars in that will destroy local manufacturing isn't going to do anything positive for North American labor. If anything is going to help, it's supporting them instead of non-union car makers and supporting union action at non-union manufacturers. I'm of the opinion that we can't expect any improvements from the political class before we take more of the profits so we can buy those politicians like corporations have. They simply won't represent labor to a significant extent unless they see workers as organized voting blocks that don't lap up corporate propaganda.

You should check the current election opinion polls. Likud and the other far right parties are currently projected to lose by several seats in some polls. I think you might be underestimating the potential yield of Bibi's tactic to keep the zealots happy. They might be able to gain a few points and win another election, with smaller Likud in the coalition.

Have you stopped to consider why you can't explain it better? Perhaps the reason is because you're wrong.

Yes I have. You've already assumed I'm not too bright more than once and worked from there. There's no point in investing more work on my end. If what I said worked, good. If not, that's fine too.

Some BSOs shittiness can't be overcome by any number of watts.

A nice bike with a small front hub (1.8kg), torque sensor and a small battery (2kg) can feel amazing. It adds very little weight so the handling doesn't change much but you get superpower that feels like it's connected to your legs.
